The training was entirely confined to Yusketry and full

avantago kas taken of the various ranges provided on the

Island,

I programme has drawn up before camp, allotting times

for carrying out the various practices, but owing chief- -ly to the bad weather experienced during the first half

of the Camp, it was not possible to adhere strictly to

the progrAYIZU,

The attendance on the whole was good, but rould undoubt-

edly ave been better but for the had weather experten-

-ced at the first weck end, during which time it rained

almost continuously; and many who would otherwise have

roned in Camp, having only one uniform, decided to

return to Hongkong, as there was no means of drying

clothes in Camp. The liquianting of German Firms was

also responsible for keeping away a number of men who

would otherwise Lave been able to put in more time at
